Abundant Martial Arts Virtue
Chapter 473 - 365 He Wants to Take the Lead!

Chapter 473: Chapter 365 He Wants to Take the Lead!

An unknown world.

The world is barren, with hardly any life in sight.

Christina stands amidst the sand and wind.

She looks around and suddenly whistles.

In the howling wind, the melodious sound carries far and wide—

Boom!

The ground cracks open, forming a two to three-meter-wide fissure.

An Eye Demon pops its head out and spots Christina immediately.

"Big sister, you’re back!"

It exclaims, overjoyed.

"Hmm, how has everything been while I was away?" Christina asks.

"All is well, the brothers are just waiting for you to return so we can start up right away," the Eye Demon says.

"How did it go with the recruitment I asked for last time?"

"It’s all done. We’ve got some fine Eye Demons, skilled in helping powerhouses of various races maintain their bodies and eliminate old injuries—their craft is outstanding.

"That’s good to hear."

Christina walks into the rift in the ground and unnoticeably arrives at a spacious plaza.

Words written in Demon Fire float high in the darkness:

"Abundant Virtue 4S Shop."

"Nourish the body, nourish life, for a different sensation."

On the plaza, dozens of Eye Demons are already lined up neatly, waiting for Christina’s inspection.

The Eye Demons no longer seek to dominate other races; they just want to earn their keep.

They are professionals at helping various races maintain their bodies.

"Not bad at all, let’s open for business now."

Christina says, satisfied.

She uses the power of the Shadow Followers to activate the Holy Walk Wall directly.

The livestream begins—

Christina is seen with her arms crossed, smiling naturally at the camera.

She is ready to do something big.

...

The real world.

The Capital.

The palace.

The grand hall is somewhat quiet.

Aside from His Majesty the Emperor, Wu Xiaode only sees Li Kunlun.

"Your Majesty, where is Zhao Junyu?"

Wu Xiaode looks around.

"Super Wu, good to see you. Your friend Zhao Junyu has been kidnapped by his sister; she insists on some serious cultivation," the Emperor says.

The Emperor stands in front of a bamboo plant, slowly practicing a boxing technique.

Li Kunlun stands to one side, also earnestly practicing a move—the very Human Emperor Fist technique, Origin, that Wu Xiaode had taught.

They know their stuff, understanding the profound boxing essence contained within this move, even capable of connecting with the Tao and calling upon enlightening powers.

"I knew they went to cultivate, but they’ve been gone this long?" Wu Xiaode says in surprise.

"They left just yesterday," the Emperor says, puzzled.

Wu Xiaode pauses, then realizes.

Indeed, it was only yesterday when Zhao Junyu had his Awakening, and his sister Zhao Zhibing took him away for cultivation without a word on their whereabouts.

Only a day has passed.

"I feel like many people are missing, where are the others?" Wu Xiaode sighs.

"My Awakening requires a special material. The lady of the Black Dragon went to the Dragon Clan’s territory to find it for me; Satan is learning to craft Biological Battle Armor with Xia Huilan," Li Kunlun says.

"I’m going to see Sister Lan," Wu Xiaode says.

"No, don’t go. Your sister’s scientific research is about to breakthrough, and according to the data model’s prediction, we’ll have results today. You can look for her then," the Emperor advises.

"And Qian Mingkui?" Wu Xiaode asks.

"Oh, he mentioned that once you return, he should be notified so he can come see you right away," Li Kunlun says.

"But we can’t contact him now," Wu Xiaode says.

"What are we missing?" Li Kunlun asks.

Wu Xiaode catches on and quickly says, "We need a device that can communicate between two worlds."

Li Kunlun stops his boxing, reaches into his pocket, and suddenly pulls out his own phone.

Different from before, his phone emits layers of blue electricity, looking particularly enchanting.

"Luckily, we have such a phone that can get in touch with him!"

Li Kunlun says.

His ability is "Dual Phases of Void and Reality."

"Void Phase" involves producing the objects others need, while "Reality Phase" is about traveling back from the future.

This time he’s using "Void Phase."

Wu Xiaode takes the phone and asks, "Aren’t you hungry?"

"I’ve felt much better since practicing this boxing technique. It seems to open up all my channels, allowing me to draw power from the boundless universe and the Void," Li Kunlun says with some emotion.

Wu Xiaode nods slightly.

Being able to help the people around you means the boxing techniques haven’t been taught in vain.

If the whole world learned this boxing technique, over time, the number of Awakeners might increase, and some might even awaken Tao Power.

In that case, the whole world would become stronger!

He dialed Qian Mingkui’s number.

Soon enough.

Elder Qian’s voice sounded from the handset:

"Hello? Brother Kun?"

"It’s not Brother Kun, it’s me, Little Wu."

"Elder Wu! Have you returned? Are you with Brother Kun?"

"We’re at the palace—did you want to see me?"

"Ah, yes, yes, wait for me, I’m on my way back immediately."

The call was hurriedly disconnected.

Wu Xiaode returned the phone to Li Kunlun, somewhat puzzled about what Qian Mingkui was up to.

He had no choice but to continue waiting in the palace.

The emperor and Li Kunlun practiced their boxing while asking him questions about the techniques.

Wu Xiaode naturally answered all of them.

The two of them practiced with even more vigor.

"The advantage of this boxing technique is that it helps you draw in energy and unlock potential. Whether or not you continue to use boxing, it will be greatly beneficial," Li Kunlun remarked.

At that moment, the sound of flapping wings could be heard outside.

"He’s here," the emperor said.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a chubby giant Ying swooped into the hall and rolled on the spot, transforming into a human.

It was Qian Mingkui!

"Elder Wu, two peerless experts wish to enter our world, and they’ve entrusted me to deliver something to you."

"What is it?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"A few days ago. Two peerless experts saved a woman who was severely injured. After she was saved with much difficulty, she left this jade slip, hoping they could find you and then give you this jade slip."

Qian Mingkui handed over a jade slip.

Wu Xiaode used his Soul Power to activate the jade slip, and immediately a female voice rang out:

"Little Wu, my brother has been captured by the Demon Sect Saintess to be her consort. I can’t save him. Can you come over?"

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

That voice was Zhao Zhibing’s!

Then, the one captured to be a consort, wouldn’t that be Zhao Junyu?

Zhao Junyu, the big suck-up, could it be that he got exactly what he desired by being picked by a sect’s Saintess to be a consort?

He should be as happy as an immortal.

Why then, would he need to be saved?

Wu Xiaode looked towards His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor, too, wore a strange expression and pondered aloud:

"Could that witch use some kind of life-draining magic? Or, has Jun Yu truly become heartless after his Awakening?"

Qian Mingkui shook his head and said, "I don’t know about that."

"Is the message reliable?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The two experts refused to reveal their names, they just gave me this thing, saying that you would know their identity after seeing it," Qian Mingkui explained.

A leaf was passed to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode looked at the leaf, quietly sensing the rich natural force contained within it, and a notion struck him. He released his Soul Power once more.

Lines of verdant energy emerged on the leaf, forming an uncommon name:

Jungle Cutie Cui Cui.

Wu Xiaode was dumbfounded.

The style of the name was all too familiar.

Yet he truly didn’t know such a person.

"Just hearing this name, one can tell it’s a woman," the emperor huffed.

"Right, Little Wu, you really are a ladies’ man, leaving love everywhere," Li Kunlun also said with a laugh.

"I really don’t know this woman, though," Wu Xiaode replied, shaking his head as he fell back into thought.

——Peerless experts, Jungle Cutie Cui Cui.

He had never heard the name before...

He unconsciously flipped the leaf over, only to find another name on its back.

——Right, there were two peerless experts.

This had to be the other person’s name.

Another name appeared on the leaf:

"Universe Adorable Cuddly Puppy, Little Jiajia."

Wu Xiaode suddenly slapped his forehead, exclaiming:

"I remember now!"

"They are indeed peerless experts and also my friends."

"——Elder Qian, take me to meet them, we must hurry and save Zhao Junyu!"

No sooner had he spoken.

Ethereal music suddenly filled the sky, and a female voice followed:

"This humble lady is the Saintess of the Demon Suppressing Cave in the Cultivation Mountain world. I have come to pay respects to all of you."
